Tasting Note:
The 2021 L’Alpage Chasselas is a quintessential Swiss alpine white: delicate, crisp, and refreshing. Subtle aromas of white flowers, green apple, and lemon peel mingle with hints of fresh herbs and wet stone. The palate is light-bodied yet textured, offering gentle orchard fruit, bright citrus, and a mineral, saline snap. Clean and precise, it finishes with alpine freshness that makes it an ideal aperitif or versatile table wine.
